Sensex, Nifty Slip Into Red On India-US Trade Deal Uncertainty

(RTTNews) - Indian shares were slightly lower in early trade on Thursday despite firm cues from global markets.

With U.S. President Donald Trump announcing trade deals with several countries, it remains uncertain whether the 26 percent reciprocal tariff announced for India will come into effect from August 1, or will this deadline be extended.

As of now, an India-U.S. trade deal remains elusive due to disagreements on agriculture and diary.

Nestle India rose about 1 percent while Bajaj Finance and SBI Life Insurance were moving lower ahead of their earnings results due today.
